Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Looks like just another a product of CTU. Deeply, vapidly moronic.
Maybe she should cut back on the tattoos and use some of that money to fix her car (and pay for her DUI). Maybe Mayor Johnson can teach her some budgeting skills. Her boss might get her off with the license plate issue but I have a feeling her boss won’t have any luck in DuPage county with the DUI.
orrrrr maybe you could earn some money like she does.. get out of that minimum wage job buddy
These kind of comments help us understand how the city and state are in such a mess.
No wonder she wants to defund the police. Law enforcement catches scofflaws like her. Can’t have that, it’s not equitable.
You couldn’t make up a story like this one about a ConeHead minion.
